Isaiah continues to speak to the people of Jerusalem.

Pay attention and listen to my voice; be attentive and listen to my words

(See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism)

Does a farmer who plows all day to sow, only plow the ground? Does he continually break up and harrow the field?

In this parable Isaiah uses questions to make them think deeply. AT: "A farmer does not plow the ground over and over. He does not only continue to work on the soil." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parables and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
